Multidisciplinary Student Training Institute

The Field Center provides internship and field placement opportunities for selected students representing multiple disciplines. MSW and BSW students, medical fellows, law students, students in public health, and promising undergraduate students have all benefited from training as part of the Field Center’s interdisciplinary team. Career mentorship is offered to help the Field Center create the next generation of leaders. Each year, the Alan Lerner Fellow in Child Welfare Policy is selected among Penn Law students to spend a full academic year as part of the Field Center team. In April of each year, students present their work at the Field Center’s Multidisciplinary Student Training Institute Symposium. Multidisciplinary Student Training Institute
